• 0:16
  Speaker 1: actually listening. And otherwise what's the point? But here in
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: our number one. Did the Commanders that's a team formerly
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: known as the Redskins overpay for Terry McLaurin at thirty
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: two million dollars per year per year? Or is this
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: a fair deal for a player of his caliber. We'll
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: talk about that. And can you decipher what this Cowboys
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: starred Dak Prescott's vote of confidence with Micah Parsons and
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: his contract means the lack of a contract agreed to yet?
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: And what's the lesson from the Lions dumping their former
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: third round pick quarterback Hendon Hooker. The hooker is on
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the street. We'll get to that and more. Right now,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: give it up for my little friend. It's our number one.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: The end of the storyline, well kind of the end
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: of the storyline. Welco up in the beginning of another
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: hour and another night of The Ben Maler Show.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Beginning the Red Eye flight, we are in the air
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: everywhere as we take off in a cluster. The hot
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: box on Fox that rocks coast to coast, border, the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: border and beyond on the vast and mighty powerful microphones
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: of fs are am monating live front of the walk
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: as we walk the Walk of Shame nightly under the
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: cover of darkness from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: as approved by the Bill's Monster, who is counting down
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to that iconic first Sunday night in the Monday with
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: NFL football blow by blow four hours of a big
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: skin boloser. We got one more Sunday to get through
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and then it's on like don't get Kong for sure,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: for sure. So this hour of the Ben Male Show
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: made possible in part by our friends at tire rackt
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: For over forty years, tire Rack has been helping customers
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire ract
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: dot Com Away Tire Buying Show. So our lead this
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: hour is from just inside the Beltway, but they play
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: outside the Beltway and so there's a lot, a lot
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: of moving parts of this it's a story that we
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: talked about. I squeezed out no less than at least
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: six Mala monologues, which I know made Rick and Maryland
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: very happy and the ostrich Ant in DC very happy.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: And storyline has now come to an end. You can
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: put the baby to bed. Now. I've been following this
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: all off season. What is that? I'll tell you if
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you have not heard, perhaps not because you actually have
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: a life. You don't pay attention to this stuff all day,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: every day, every minute. You don't assess with it. You
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: don't have a talk show to do. So we learned
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who remember the guy, he
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: asked for a trade. I ain't playing unless I get
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: mine bro. He did the Blake smellfing that punk from
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers. So Terry McLaurin asked for a trade, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the Washington football team has decided to not trade him. Instead,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: they have agreed to a Mega MEGAMEGA three year contract
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: worth ninety six million. Of course, we'll wait till the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: fine print comes out how much of that is guaranteed.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: There's conflicting reports on that. Before we give that side
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: of it. The commanders, though, keep the player. McLaren essentially
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: missed the entire offseason, lolly gagging around in the hold in,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and he wanted that new contract. He turns thirty, Oh
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: my god, thirty. Next month the Big three to zero,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and we'll be back on the field, back on the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: field here with a new contract. He gets a massive check,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: massive check from the Commanders, who will be able to
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: play their game one. The Washington football team opens against
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the sad sack New York Football Giants to begin their season.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: As I know, Braddy Eddie in Charlotte loves the Giants,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: but they suck. McLaren's average salary will now be I
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: know you're very concerned about other people's salary. Mclaurin's average
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: salary be thirty two million, which is the same as
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: AJ Brown, but less than Jamar Chase, less than Justin Jefferson,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: less than C. D.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Lamb.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys DK met Kevin Garrett Wilson. So listen, that's fine.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: That's about it. Seems about right, seems about right, and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: so that's where we are. So let us discuss did
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: the commanders though some are saying, what are you doing?
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, you didn't want to pay him he's
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: too old. You paid him?
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: So did the commanders overpay Terry McLaurin at thirty two
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: million per year? Or is this a fair market deal
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: for a player of his caliber? So I've got my
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: thoughts on this about Netflix, spaghetti and launching pad, and
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: are going to put the biscuit in the basket. Is
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: what We're going to do. The biscuit in the basket.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: So Hey, to answer the question, was this and overpay
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: by the Washington Commanders, none of I am going to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: be Benny Brightside. I am Benny bright Side on this one.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I am McLaurin. The safety blanket for Jaden Daniels, the prodigy.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: We'll see if you can follow up that amazing Final
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: four run for the Washington football team and do it
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: again this year. But he was a prodigy, Jaden Daniels,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: all those last second wins, dramatic, high flying, high falutin
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the synergery with Cliff Kingsbury, but a lot of that,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: when in doubt throw the ball to Terry McLaurin. That alone,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: on my scorecard, that alone makes him worth the premium
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: price tag, which is what Washington did pay it. And
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: this is very similar to what we had advice, the advice,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the unsolicited overnight radio advice that we had given to
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the Washington football team. They're listening, they can't sleep, they're listening.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: What was the advice, short term contract, big money? Who cares?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Short term contract, big money? Who cares? Three It's not
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: really a three year deal. Don't get fooled by the numbers.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: See people get fooled by the numbers, and we'll find
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: out how much of that is guaranteed. But this is
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: like Netflix or any other television network announcing that they've renewed.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: We'll just focus on Netflix. They've renewed a show for
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: three seasons. Okay, they've renewed the show for three seasons.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: You're all excited. Okay, that's great. But in reality, what
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: they've actually done is giving you an eight episode deal
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: and they're gonna then cancel the show the second nobody watches.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: That's it. But the announce it's a three year deal,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and then when no one's actually paying attention, they just
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: get rid of the show. That's it. And so this
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: is really the way I look at it. A one
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and a half year deal. It's a one and a
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: half year deal. The commanders were worried about mclaurin's age,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, because they got a bunch of dorks
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: in there, and they look, it's like insurance now, so
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: you life insurance. They say, well, we're betting that you're
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: gonna live this long and then eventually you're gonna die,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: but we're betting that we're gonna make this much money
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: off your your ass before you croak, and that way
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: will be okay. But if not, if you have some
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: underlying condition you might croak sooner, well then we don't
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: want to do the deal. You got to pay more.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: And they're like, wow, we don't want to do the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: deal because you're gonna be thirty and you look at
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the comps on this and all that stuff. But Washington
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: is thinking, we don't want to pay this guy till
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: he's thirty three. Well, spoiler alert, looks like until we
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: see the fine print here, you're gonna be paying him
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: close to that. The contract in theory always in theory,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: locks up mcclaurin through twenty twenty eight. He would be
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: thirty three. The new money thirty two million annually. Now
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the owner Josh Harris who's one of these slick business
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: dudes who wants to be famous. You don't buy a
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: sports team unless you want to want people talking about you, right,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: You just don't. Why would you bother? So he owns
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the bunch of sports teams with the Washington football team,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: this is a bullet you got to bite on. If
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: you're Josh Harris, you got to bite on it because
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: it's a PR move. The way I look at this,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: it's a PR move. There's no need for a GoFundMe.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Harris is worth almost ten billion dollars in the estimate there,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: so that they're trying to sell stability, and I would
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: have kept a player. To Benny Brightside, it's good for
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: all involved. It's not a massive commitment long term, and
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: he's been very productive. Some absolute puke quarterbacks in Washington.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Now they finally have what appears to be a pretty
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: good quarterback. So we'll see how this goes here. But
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: it's really just a year and a half and they're
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: either gonna cut him or restructure the contract and that'll
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: be that. Now to Dallas, that's right. The obligatory Mallard
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: monologue about America's team, the Dallas Cowboys, So the latest
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: developments on this the Cowboys quarterback Dakota Prescott. That's his name, Dakota.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: They call him dak but he's his real name is Dakota.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: So Dakota Prescott has entered the chat on the big deal.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: So a couple of contracts agreed to holdouts or hold ins,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: ending Trey Hendrickson. We'll get to that later. We've got
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: a four hour talk shit to do. But Trey Hendrickson
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: is going to stay with the Bengals for this season
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: at least. And we mentioned the Terry mclarn thing. But
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: in Dallas they have not had any kind of settlement yet.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: So the Cowboys quarterback Dakota Prescott said that he is confident,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: confident that the disgruntled edge rusher Micah Parsons will be
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: on the field a week from Thursday when the Cowboys
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: open up with Doc Phila del Fia Eagles. In a
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: made for Prime Time football extrava Ganz, Dakota Prescott said, quote,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I've got confidence. I told y' all just to prove
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: he's actually living in Texas, he had to say, all,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I told y'all that way back when Prescott yapped and
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: snapped at reporters. He said, I'm just going to be
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: going off experience, honestly, no different than mine, referring to
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the situation where his contract was also fed up until
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the very end. So question, can you decipher? Can you
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: decipher what the Cowboys star dak Prescott in his vote
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: of confidence with Michaeh. Parsons means. So I spent several
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: seconds deliberating on this one, several seconds, and Dak's out
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: there yelling at the world. He's quoting Aaron Rodgers. Relax.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: He's saying, relax, I've got confidence and all this stuff.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: He's following the script The Dallas Cowboys again for the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: eighteen thousand dimes into these microphones. It is a spaghetti Western,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. They are a spaghetti Western. You got
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones twirling his mustache like a villain. Now, I
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: got a cartoon villain, Jerry Jones. Over there. You got
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, who's playing the wise old sage cowboy, Dakota
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Prescott sitting on his porch, sipping some sweet tea and
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: telling everybody all calm down. Now, they all calm down. Now,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Mike's gonna be fine, just like that. So Prescott following
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: the wisdom that we believe in. Obviously, this is not
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: his first rodeo, Dak Prescott, He's been through the contract
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Ringerry's ringer for a while. A couple of times he's
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: cashed in. He got two hundred and forty something million,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I believe. I think I'm right on that. So Jerry
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: has a PhD. And the PhD is in drama from
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the University of Keeping the Cowboys Relevant. You might not
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: have heard about that university. It's a small university. It's
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: located in the Death Star there in Jerry's world. And
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: you think it's a coincidence that every off season there's
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: a contract standoff every off season. In the last this
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: is three years in Robley. Three years in a row.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: We've gotten more twists than a burial race at the
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: or one of those barrel races you know you see
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: at the State Fair where they're racing the I mean,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: there's a lot going on. And first it was Dak
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: a couple of years back. Then it was Ceedee Lamb,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: and now it's now it's Michael Parsons. So I think
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: for three for three, Jerry's got his playbook. He does
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: things his way, and it's thicker than a longhorned steak.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones got that big playbook there, but he loves this.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: This is his go to act in the spaghetti Western.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: And it's like, you know, sitting there in the owner's box.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: He's up there atop the stadium. He's just sipping whiskey
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: and looking down at all the rubes and all the dopes,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: and uh, let's let this simmer. Let's let the simmer
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: for a little bit and let the cameras roll at
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: all the debate shows, all the gas bags, blow hards
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: know it, alls chime in on this, and you know what,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: it works. It does work. It absolutely works. Like we're
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: talking about the cowboys here, we are. There's other stuff
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: going on, but the Dallas Cowboys in late August late
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: August continue to move the needle, figuring things out while
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: other teams are changing punters and releasing fat guys and
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: all that. Now, speaking of that, there was one move
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: that caught my attention, and that's the last word. We
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: go to Motown. Quarterback change. Quarterback change. In Motown, the
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Lions have said bye bye. They have gotten rid of
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: former third round pick Hendon Hooker. You can't get rid
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: of a hooker. They put a hooker out on the street.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: What's up with that? So Hendon Hooker, let go. Kyle
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Allen has officially won the Lions backup quarterback battle, which
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: means when Jared Goff gets hurt, the Detroit Lions will
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: have no chance to win unless they pitch a shutout
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: on defense because Kyle Allen blows. He's terrible. So what
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: is the lesson? Though? I think there's a bigger lesson.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: This caught my attention. So what is the lesson here?
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: From the Lions dumping former Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker getting
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: rid of him? So this is a refresher course. It
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: is a refresher course. The draft, what do we always say,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: fools gold? It's fool's gold. It's a suckers game. And
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: every draft there's a couple of quarterbacks drafted in the second, third,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: fourth round. And I got a here, all the geniuses.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Oh man, this guy's going to be a steal of
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: the draft. Oh my god, this guy's got amazing ability.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah to.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: My ears bleed. So Dan Campbell and the Lions took
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Hendon Hooker. He was raw, he was unpolished, he had
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: a bad knee. He was twenty five years old, which
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: is older than pretty much everyone in the draft, and
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: they drafted him. And he was said to be a project.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: But the same people who've made the draft, the cottage industry,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: they love to tell you, oh, this guy's gonna be great, wonderful.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: And what happened. It went exactly the way we thought
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: it was going to happen, the way we expected it
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: to happen. The project at quarterback, Hendon Hooker. The Lions
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: blew up on the launching pack cup boom right there
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: on the launching peck kaboom kaboom, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom kamoom,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: just like that, and did not even get off the ground.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: He's not a starter. They said, well, maybe we'll be
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: back up. He's nothing. At this point, Hooker's going through
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the checkout line with the old thank you come again
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: sticker right on his forehead right there. Ninety five percent
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: of these so called projects, they fail, all right, this
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: was a third rounder. A third round. You might as
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: well be lighting the pick on fire. Just get some
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: gasoline and a lighter and or book of matches and
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: just light the thing on fire, or use a blowtorch.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: You just get blow torch out there, like you're roasting
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: marshmallows and delicious marshmallows and just going for it. So
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: he's not hooker. Hooker's not a clipboard guy. He's not
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: a headset guy at this point, as he's a loss
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: in the shuffle guy. Does any eat marshmallows without cooking them?
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine eating marshmallows without cooking them. They're rather disgusting.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: You have to eat them cooked, right, There's no is
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: there a market for people that just munch on marshmallows
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: without them being roasted with chocolate and graham crackers? Like,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: is there a group that that's into that. The people
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: who do Chubby Bunny competitions? The Chubby Bunny competition. But
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: when I was a I remember Thanksgiving, my mom would
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: always make this big thing of yams. I think yams
• 17:24

  Speaker 1: drug tester Right Sin says, I have to disagree with
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: the Mallard monologue. Jerry Jones isn't a barrel racer since
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: he's been writing this bowl of a Micah Parsons story
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: for eight months, not just eight seconds. Give him the
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: gold buckle, he says. Fer Dog says, hey, bet your
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: cal Rowley Mallard monologue from yesterday is already paying dividend
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: thanks to the big dumpers. Fiftieth Homer of the year
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: the Mariners beat the Podreys and the Dodgers took back
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: control of the National League West. Did watch some baseball
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: there for Dago was slipping around. Watched Red Sox games,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: some of the Yankee game that wasn't much of a
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: game that he has killed the Nationals with that natitude.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: The Mets pulled away from the fight in Phills, was
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: flipping to that game, and I did watch some of
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: the Dodger game as they dominated. Is they kicked the
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: ass at the Cincinnati You had three hits and two errors,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: which is in no runs, which is generally not good,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: but not as bad as the Cleveland Guardians, who I
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: believe have now been shut out three games in a row.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: The team formerly knows. The Indians have been shut out
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: three games in a row, and in that time they
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: have given up twenty four runs and they have ten
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: total hits. Now, I didn't play professional baseball and I
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: just host an overnight show. I don't think that's good.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I do not believe that is particularly good. But what
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: do we know? What do we know? Who else do
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: we have to page down Tacoma. Drew writes and says, Ben,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: this is off topic. Everything's off topic to coma Drew
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: But why do you not have merch or do you
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I want Malard militia merch? Is is this not a
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: great idea? It is a great idea. We've done that
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: in the past. We've had some limited run shirts. I've
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: actually been working on something behind the scenes that I have.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: You listened to the Fifth Hour podcast about having like
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: a shirt of a month or something like that. Although
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: every time I talk about something like this, something falls apart.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: So we are efforting that like a theme shirt or
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: something like that, or if you want a hat or
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: something along those lines. So we're not quite there yet.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: We're not quite there yet, Screwge says. I swear almost
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: every First Hour monologue is about the Jerry Jones or
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Michael Parson's story. Sports media have run out of things
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: to talk about. That the Cowboys are an everyday conversation.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: We'll screw huge again. You want us to do narrow casting, Strewge,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: We do broadcasting. There's a broad appeal. There's a broad
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: appeal to this story. It's huge exactly. So if you
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: don't get that, screwed, you want me to lose my job. Screws.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: You see that you're saying, Oh, I wish mall we
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: wouldn't talk about the Cowboys.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's not talk about the biggest effing story in sports.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I'll lose my effing job and then you'll have some
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: boring talk show host in here that will suck. Is
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: that what you want? Yeah? Eileen writes it from I
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: think she's in the Bay Area. She says, I put
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: the baby to bed and the biscuit in the basket
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: and Michael Parsons still ain't signed eating raw mushrooms. Wow,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: shock shock Shock. Jock super market Steve, who did make
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: in appearance with his lovely wife there at the Malla
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Meat and Green theme in Vegas, quite the character. I
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: noticed no theme shirts this year, so they they're cutting back.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Last year they had the theme shirts, but not this year.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I guess they're not as big fans now as they
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: were last year. They had some theme stuff and it
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: was in the past. Tierra Massou No, Tierra Massous. I
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: loved her karaoke. It's enjoyable, it was good. Indeed, it
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: was suer Wargus. Steve says, I turned on the flying
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: ship here at Fox Sports Radio in lam five seventy
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: to hear a caller mister blankety blank completely agreed with
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: say that Mookie Bets is doing a great job at shortstop.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: It reminds me of when I was twelve and I
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: used to argue that Derek Jeter was a great shortstop.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not twelve anymore. Yeah, well, listen, I don't know
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: if you want me to go down that road. Mookie
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: did make a great play in that game I was watching,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: and he had an elite defensive play at shortstop for
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers against the Red So that's great. Do I
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: trust Mookie Bets in the eighth inning of a tie
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: game playing shortstop on a cold night in Philadelphia? No,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: I don't, or New York or any of those plays. No,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I don't don't. I don't trust him Derek Jeter. Listen,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: there are people that grew up little kids watching Derek
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Jeter who to this day will call up and fight
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: me to the death. Supermarket Steve that Derek Jeter was
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: a great defensive short even though I watched Jeter's entire
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: career and know he's he was not. He was at
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: most average, And yet there are people that grew up
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: thinking thinking, well, I was a little kid, I didn't
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: know any better, and he was great and all this
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: stuff chipping the qs right, so it says a plus
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: on the monologue you are putting the biscuit in the basket,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: will you also be putting the tiscuit and the tasket
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: in a yellow basket as well? Rhyme Yeah, Well I'm open,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: I'll hope. And for some reason, I don't understand why
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the people if I don't say baba ganoosh anymore, they
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: get upset. You have to say it, and now I
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: have to say gobaghool great. So those are two that
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I have to say if I don't say gobagool or
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Babushka is a good one. I could add babushka, right
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: you uh, we're gonna We're gonna make the babushka happy, right.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Babushka is a fun word. But we did learn that
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: the male version of Babushka is not Babushka. It's something mamushka.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: I believe it's mamushka, not babushka. So it's a But
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: I like Babushka. That's a that's a grandmother. And you
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: hope someday to be a babushka. But you don't want
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: to be there too soon because then it's an awkward
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: it's an awkward situation, right because you think of mean
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: you generally think of the cliche as grandmothers are old
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: and grandfathers are old. But I was a friends. I
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: will not reveal the name of a very well known
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: baseball player who was probably in his late thirties and
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: was a grandfather. And the math, the math doesn't really
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: seem to work on that. But he yeah, he is
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: like it looks or with actual No, he actually apparently
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: had some of the things that happened at a very
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: young age. And uh then that continued body to the
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: next generation. And you do the math on that, and
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: the math, yeah, that's how he's the granddad. That's how
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: that's how he the granddaddy. That is absolutely correct one
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: on that. You can hit us up on ax at
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Ben Mahler. Now, for some reason, Mark the full name
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: guy continues to send me in a photo of this
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: dusty old hat and says it's a Cleveland Spiders hat
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: when it's not. It's a it's an I have that
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: same hat. By the way, Mark, it's a minor league team.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: I think it's called the crawfish. I think it's a crawfish.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Didn't we get sent those hats? The crawfish hats not
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: fighting crawfish? Isn't that what those blue ones were? No? Well,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know what though. This is a difference. This
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: is an old This is the shrimp hat we did get.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: So I was very happy of that, and I do
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: want to think I would like to thank our friend Tree.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: I feel very ark with people's give gifts. I don't
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: like to open them, and I don't know why. It's
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: one of my my things. I don't like opening them
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: for the people. But I did to open very nice
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: He sent some like a nice Chicago gift pack of
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Chicago paraphernalia. There was a hat from his He's a
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: proud union man, so we had the union hat from
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: his company, which is great. That's kind of a cool
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: hat because I can wear that. People think, boy, you're
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: a good you're hard working blue collar guy, right and
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: not just the guy that just talks for a living.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: So I can, I can, I can fool people want
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: to go to Costco. I can wear that hat and
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: then somebody will say, hey, are you from Chicago that
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: you know? And I said, well, no, but I can
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: tell or I can lie and say I am from Chicago.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: That would be simple. That would be stealing a valor,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: you know, union valor from Tree and I don't know
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: that I want to do that. Do you think people
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: would think I was a UPS driver? If I were
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: the hot you don't generally look like a UPS driver.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think which, But what do they
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: look like? I don't know. I think it would act
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: as protection too. If he went into like Chicago, you're
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: just wandering the streets. You think nobody would mess with me?
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: This guy's This guy's a local. Yeah, this guy's a local.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Guys is legit, that's real smart. I think that hat
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: is the Hickory craw Dads, the original I want to say,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Hickory craw Dads. The hat that Mark thinks is the
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Cleveland Spiders for some reason, I don't know. Let's see here,
• 30:02

• 30:05
  Speaker 1: of the Benbino does not strike as he's referring to

• 31:36
  Speaker 1: home run for cal Raley as he adds to the
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Mantle rally, cal Raley joining Mickey Mantle. I've heard of

• 31:47
  Speaker 1: runs in a season, and he became the eighth player
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: in Major league history to reach the half century mark
